New Feature: @Mentions

Earlier this year we rolled out team accounts so organizations could share their subscription with the rest of their team. This allowed organizations to have project managers and team members. Where PMs could create and manage projects.

Now I’m happy to roll out the next step in this feature line. You can now mention anyone on your team in your comments. They will immediately get an email with a direct link to that item.

Any team member that is part of your organization can be mentioned by name to be notified of an item that is important to them. Team members are unlimited so as long as they are part of the organization they can be mentioned.

One of the main goals with Punchlist is to help project managers stay on top of everything they need to get a project done. Keeping track of documents and files is really hard. Then knowing what photo is for a certain section or copy for a particular page adds to the complexity. Happy to say...

Being able to give clear concise feedback has a lot to do with how you can format your comment. We’ve updated our comment box to now support Bold, Italics, Bullets, & Inline Links. We considered adding more formatting but it is a fine line between being helpful and distracting. We’ll see how this goes and...

Punchli.st’s focus is getting projects completed through collaboration. Having your team or client be able to be referenced and use the tool independently is key to that. I’m happy to say we recently launched the ability to invite Team Members and Project Managers to an organization’s account. Project Managers have the ability to create new projects and...

🎯 Direct Linking to Items You can now link directly to an issue regardless of what page the item is on. We load the correct page of your project site as well as scroll down to the annotation. These links are public; you can reference the specific item with your team or client. 🗃️ List-Only...

Screenshots and Pages One of the more significant UX issues we have seen over the last few months is that it was hard to know which pages had feedback already. It took a little hunting, and we didn’t do a good job of showing how to get to the page listing. Now we have brought...

Excited about this little feature since it came directly through customer feedback. Design Extensions in St. Augustine has been using Punchli.st to help get their client and team feedback. One thing they kept running into was feedback coming into late, so they wanted to be able to lock in all the feedback. We built a...

When you are trying to get a project done getting your stakeholders to focus is key. The design has been approved and the last thing you want is to introduce the ability to change something that is baked. One of the key aspects of any review is to focus in on what you actually want...

tl;dr; I have a feeling you are going to see more video onboarding within apps soon; people don’t like to read. It is pretty easy to get up and running with a video onboarding, but if you don’t want to read and just want to watch you can skip to the end of the post...

For the last 20 years, I have been talking to clients about getting their projects launched. Starting in 1999, my neighbor asked me if I knew how to build a website. I didn’t, but within a few days, I had something running on Homestead (I think that is what it was called, o.g. Webflow 🙂...

Until recently I had a pretty standard flow within my app. You sign up, create a project, share it out, and wait for feedback. I’ve talked previously about sticking to the critical path. I took a step back and consider how could I get a user to start collaborating on a project as quickly as...

Previously I wrote about what I knew I needed to learn in order to build a product. Occasionally I’ll get asked if I had so much to learn why was important to me to build Punchli.st alone. I’m sure there is some deeper psychological reasoning but the easiest way to explain it is I don’t...

tl;dr Everything. One of the thing that surprises people when I talk to them about building Punchli.st is the fact that I had never written software before. I’ve always had a technical slant to my work, but I always leaned toward design and strategy. So one of my fundamental goals with Punchli.st was to learn...
